Railroad Eumblinys.

From Denver Journal of Commerce.
The midland Route will soon
be equipped with 25 locomotives,
25 passenger coaches and 1000
other cars.
The Colorado Midland company
has filed its first annual report as
follows: Total amount of capital
stock, s5.O00.OOO; amount paid in
cash, $1,000; amount paid in prop
erty, construction and equipment Of
railway under contract with the
Colorado Midland Construction
company, 1893. 400; amount of ex-
listing debts represented by first
mortgage bonds, $5.541.5OO.
A large construction force under
Contractor Bell;is grading the new
roadbed OF the d. & r. g. between
Grand Canon and Salida. In one
place tunnel OF three or four hun
dred feet is to be made. The line
is being CONSIDERABLY Strengthened
and the work is of the most sub
stantial character. The culvert and
bridge foundations are built of SOL
id masonry and the bridges will be
Of iron. It is probable that third
rail will be laid as far as Leadville
to compete with the Midland.
II is confidently predicted that
the Midland will be running into
Leadville in July next. The track
is being laid west of Colorado
Springs at the rate of a mile per
day, and Manager Fisher, of the
Midland Constructing company,
says that the rails will be laid at
that rate until the road is completed.
Several thousand men are employ
ed in grading and tunneling, and,
considering the difficulty of the
work and lin tied time in which SO
much will have to be accomplished,
the Midland is entitled to rank as
one of the most stupendous enter
| prises of the time.

It is fact we'll known in manu-

Philadelphia capitalists who have

Denver for assay and they as
we'll as all the boys in camp, were
delighted at the returns, which
showed the ore to run 351 ounces
in silver and $40 ounce in gold
per ton. Never seeing the proper
ty ourselves and finding the snow
crusted splendidly, ON Wednesday,
two of us struck out for the boys
camp, where we found them hard
at work. Upon entering the tunnel
we were shown the ore streak which
has kept widening out since the
start and now shows an ore streak
IS inches in width and quartz wider
than the drift, in which they are
cross cutting at the present time.
The vein is in black lime and is
certainly one Of the coming produ-
GERS of our district. Everything is
fixed up in good shape for winter
work, with blacksmith shop at the
mouth of the tunnel and a good
warm cab in wildwood shed attached

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world we
live in Nature gives us grandeur
of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in
perfect health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving
it up dishearted, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there
is no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof, that Gree1's Au-
gust Flower, will make them free
from disease as when born. Dys-
pepsia and liver complaint are the
direct causes of seventy-6ve per
cent. of such maladies as billusness,
indigestion, sick headache, costive-
ness, nervous prostration, dizziness
of the head, palpitation of the heart
and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will
,fove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottle 10 cents. Try it.

Inquiry at the city treasurers Office to-

more in money had been received for
State taxes than at the same date last
year, and that 3, 600 less in coupons had
been rendered for the same class of taxes
Parties who have hitherto rendered
coupons but who paid their taxes
in cash this year stated that they
had purposoly pursued the former course
TO force the State To come to an equlta-
bic settlement with her creditors, but
that they were now satisfied that the
General Assembly did all that it was
possible to do last spring to effect an
honorable compromise, and they viii
hencefOrth meet their just obligations TO
the State in Lawful, money. Other par
ties who have heretofore rendered cou-
pOns are awaiting the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the h0bcas c0rpUs cases.
If it IS favorable t. the State they, too,
